Where's all the stickers you usually see on a rally car?

Listen to the radio about the first four day of my trip, then it went off and stayed off. Do you have SiriusXM? She could link up through bluetooth...or get a UE BOOM if you both want to listen. Had a UE Boom for the campsites, but never used it.

Looks like if you wheeled it out...probably could sell it for a few bills.

Been debating on stickering it up but for now the priority is drive ability and creature comforts. I was thinking radio with cd player streaming would be nice but not needed.

It’s 6000 miles in 8 days give or take tunes will be a good thing. A teenager is only going to talk to dad for so long

Yeah, l get it.

However, don't miss out on an captured opportunity to tell her all the things she wished she would have asked, but didn't...when she had the chance.

Now, if you see her reaching for the door handle while in route at highway speeds...then by all means...turn on the radio...lol.

You at least have to have a fuel sponsor sticker...like Shell or something.

Can't wait to hear and see this happen!

As long as we have coverage it will be all good but it’s the lack of coverage areas I’m concerned with lol

My daughter...she would talk through a tornado striking the car...and never miss a beat...lol.

Get on the phone with her and five hours later...l've probably said, "Yep, that's nice"...five times.

Yeah, used the app for Sirius (colorado and trail blazer have subscriptions), just loaded app, it asked for email connected with account...bingo-bango...music. Hey, if this old boomer can do it two days after getting his first ever 'make-me-dumber' phone...you shouldn't have any issues. Believe, you'll have coverage all the way across the lower 48. I lost it somewhere Saskatchewan or BC...then l never turned the radio on again.
